Social Justice and Prophetic Voice

There are all kinds of activists in this world – and this world needs them all.  During my time at Starr King, I developed a broad definition of what activism looks like – from those who knit prayer shawls for people who need a little more love in their lives to those who march in rallies and block traffic on the freeways.   In my ministry, I encourage all types of activists, see progress in all forms of activism, and understand the differences among us can make us stronger. 
 
I also understand the need for rest and replenishing the soul, no matter the work that is being done.  In communal worship, we must not only call for action, but also offer a place for rest.  We, as a community, need to hold each other in both the work we do and in the times when our souls need to be refilled and refueled.
